Programs
Emergent Works: PPLs partnership with Emergent Works, Serving Justice-Impacted Communities strengthened its foundation through intentional growth and capacity-building initiatives that aligned with our mission to close digital literacy and racial wealth gaps. In 2024, the initiative maintained its flagship programs supporting just-impacted communities with an internal focus on staff/leadership Development and operational efficiency. 70% of T.RAP participants complete the program, achieving key milestones such as conducting research, creating original music, developing a website, building a resume, setting up an Upwork profile, and participating in a public performance.
$269,832 spent$5,312 earned by the program67% of program spendingOther programs:PPL continues to maintain a small portfolio of programs led by grassroots nonprofit leaders. Longstanding programs like GROW Externships, Seeds to Soil, and Design Dream Lab continued their programming throughout 2024. Newer initiatives continued to develop their programming like Earthlings.NYC (organizing their 2nd annual NYC Charity Turtle Race and new invertebrate zoology education programs) and Our Secret Ingredient is Love (organizing educational, participatory, plant-based food events through the lens of important cultural holidays such as Lunar New Year, Tombsweeping Day, and Diwali).

Through community dinners, speaking engagements, and facilitated mutual aid networks, OCB continued to build on its mission of imagining and bring to life another world through a politics of en conjunto, or togetherness.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $181k to $1.3M (+607%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
98% of Prime Produce Limited’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $170k → $1.0M.
6 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 92% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Prime Produce Limited’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Prime Produce Limited leans on a few funders — its largest provides 64% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
92% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Prime Produce Limited.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 64% · 2022 95% · 2023 89% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
50% of Prime Produce Limited's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 55% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
92% of Prime Produce Limited's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $362k that is directly attributable, 92% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
